Le Maistre v. Clark

The single question presented for consideration by this court is the correctness of the judgment of the Court of Appeals in dismissing the plaintiff’s appeal on questions of law and fact and retaining the appeal as one on questions of law alone.

■ The plaintiff relies upon one sentence in Section 6, Article IV of the Constitution of Ohio which.reads in part as follows:

“The courts of appeals shall have * * * appellate jurisdiction in the trial of chancery cases * *' *.”

Restating the question more simply, what is contemplated by the phrase “appellate jurisdiction in the trial of chancery cases”1?
